Reliance Standard
Need advice on how to best deal with Reliance standard.
Is anybody ever successful collecting benefits from Reliance? My husband drew STD for 6 months no problem. LTD is a different story. Received two checks but now they are requesting identical paperwork to what we’ve already sent in. More medical records or claim will be closed. Also we have a packet from Advocator. From what I’m reading we should stay away from Advocator? Really need some advice.

Connie, please feel free to have your husband contact our office to discuss his Reliance claim. Carriers often make the process of LTD much more difficult due to the fact that the benefits for LTD are paid out of the assets of the insurance company (as opposed to STD – which are often paid for out of the assets of the employer). With respect to the Advocator group, we recommend hiring your own representation as it relates to SSDI.
